Throwback Thursdays

Okay Peoples, today's Throwback has been inspired by a few factors. Firstly, This Bug had the chance to interview Mr. Cheeks of the Lost Boyz earlier this week. He's a pretty cool dude. (And not nearly as tall as I always imagined, by the way.) Second, a while back I read a very thought-provoking post by fellow blogger Naked With Socks On about this subject matter. Please check it out here when you're done. You won't be sorry. Lastly, 1996 was a memorable year for me. There was something about the fashion and the music that was full of partying and good times. Yours truly was blazin' a lot of trees back then, Alize was the drink of choice, and some other exclusive activities were poppin' off. This joint was the embodiment of those times, but slowed down long enough to raise some awareness about a very real affliction. Lots of folks were jumping without a parachute back then. Actually, this song may or may not have had something to do with my self-imposed celibacy that took place shortly thereafter. Come back one of these days for the gory details on that experience. Anyway, I bring to you today the slept on track, The Yearn. Because at the end of the day, we all have it- don't we? It's just up to us to make the safest and smartest choice for ourselves. Laterz...
